A seed drill is essentially a cart that drops seeds at regular intervals and in a straight line. This allows planters to insure that every seed lands in a plowed furrow and that seeds are planted far enough apart that each one has optimal room to grow. Planting with a seed drill is far more efficient than scattering seeds (sowing) and far faster than planting seeds individually by hand, and leads to increased crop yields.
The statistics here are for a manual pushcart; larger versions intended to be pulled by draft animals or tractors will be larger, heavier, and more expensive.
